Ok gay mystery in which Tom and Scott vacation at an island resort and bodies start turning up everywhere. This was beyond silly, actually. And what the heck is up with the book blurb, which says that, "Tom Mason, former Chicago area high school teacher, recently made a public splash by marrying his long-term lover, former professional baseball player Scott Carpenter." The problem is that, as far as I remember, neither of them has retired from their professions. Their wedding a few books back wa [...]

Well, I am not sure why I actually liked these books. They are very elementary.I don't really like mysteries where the people that are constantly finding dead bodies are in no way qualified to try and solve the murders. A teacher and a pro baseball player? Really?This one was even more far fetched, from the island for rich gay people, to the secret treasure room, to the people committing murder. Just didn't make sense at all.It got to the point where I didn't really care if Tom and/or Scott died [...]

PROTAGONIST: Tom Mason and Scott CarpenterSETTING: An island for rich gay menSERIES: #11 of 11RATING: 1.0When Tom Mason, a retired Chicago high school teacher, and Scott Carpenter, a former professional baseball player, got married, Tom's gift to Scott was an annual trip to Korkasi, an island in the Aegean Sea which was the most exclusive and expensive gay resort in the world. The staff on the island cater to the guests' every whim; it's an idyllic escape for the privileged as well as a place wh [...]

I have had this copy for a few years and finally got around to reading it. I usually like the books of this series - don't really know why, maybe it is just the interaction between Tom and Scott. The other books have plots that could have happened. This one was just too over the top, as other people have noted.I usually like the witty narration and dialogue of Tom. I spotted a word used incorrectly at one point and wondered if it was an editing problem. I also wondered if there had been more tha [...]

Like many of the reviews that I read I couldn't put the book down once I started until my body shut down for sleep. Mystery, conspiracy, murder, humor, Nazi's, stolen treasure, etc. It had it all. A gay resort in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea for the extremely rich and gay. A vacation/get away spot where secrecy is of top priority. But within their own little world on this island there are more secrets that most people know about spanning centuries. Unexpectedly, partners on their yearly v [...]

UughI've read one of his other books a year or so ago, and liked it well enough, but this oneOn page 44 and hating every moment.A huge tragedy on a resort that causes death and the complete collapse of a building, huge storm going on.No one at all is freaking out or panicing. They are all giving the answers that the lead guys are asking andWTF??Maybe I have to read the others because this is part of a series so maybe I would like the main guys enough to forgive the writing.I hate abandoning book [...]
